First off let me emphisize that Im not bagging on the Devs or throwing the blame around anywhere but quite frankly I am very dissatisfied as a consumer.
Have you ever tried bowling with 9 pins, how bout playing at Pebble Beach with a softball, perhaps playing basketball with no hoop or net? How bout playing Street Fighter with only 4 butons. Playing MxO the last 2 weeks have been on the exact same level as the analogies above.
Not to mention it looks like we will have to deal with this yet for 1 more week making it 3 weeks.
Truth is most of you really have no idea how bad it is but to me personally this is unplayable. Sure you could run missions or socialize or whatever else there is to do besides pvp but PVP has totally been broken.
This horrible DE bug is only the iceing on the cake, Rampid EOC mixed with the dissappearance of NPCs to even cure making trying to get back to the fight to help your teamates nearly impossible. Even if you get back to your team without having to journey far out the way to find npc to cure eoc you find yourself with clothing resistances taking DE not to mention bugged accuracy so you are basically useless and are certain to die an inevitable death.
Last week was bad enough but this week youll find a large portion of the population useing exploits that were once fixed and reintroduced with this patch. Ive had it, I can take no more of this. Nothing is more frustrating than having to log completely out to cure perma death effect which leaves you with full DE on every stat only to log back in and be attacked as soon as you jack back in by somebody style stacking or useing one of the other exploits introduced with update 46. Log out again and repeat this vicious cycle.
I feel bad like Im complaining when I should just avoid it all until fixed, Maybe Im just a glutton for punishment as I keep logging in daily only to get a little more frustrated everyday. I sound like Debbie Downer in faction chat leaving a negative aura on everyone I speak to because I cant believe how long this is going on now, it seems like an eternity. I know the Devs are working hard and things happen and go wrong so Im not complaining at them. When other SOE games such as SWG have massive exploits sometimes they are hotfixed in a day.
Truth be told a free month is in order, I dont see what really else can really make up for this debacle. Altough I dont necessarily see that happening perhaps Mobious Code and/or HJ beta for everyone who had to put up with this is in order for there alts if they dont already have. Like I say I love MxO and Im really not trying to complain, Ive been pataint. But as a smart consumer I cannot remain silently any longer on this issue.
If nothing else comes out of this I would at least hope that the Q and A server is brought back up if only to let even a select group of real players test out upcomming patch releases. I really dont understand how this patch was tested at all. If there was a DE fix wouldnt the tester have died at least once and checked thier stats to see if the negitive penalties of DE had dissipated properly? It should have been quite obvious that something was wrong as clothing resistances consitantly are affected by DE now not to mention many other things that shouldnt be.
Q and A reopened here and there to test new patches needs to be done somehow. I know the public pushed and whined about 46 being delayed so I cant blame the Devs, I believe they been doing a great job trying to add new content and such with a limited staff and they have my utmost respect. But as a consumer I am utterly frustrated with the current gamebreaking state of update 46.
